I agree with Dr. Altic. “Diversity” and WOKE ideology have no place in medical education. Quality of education for competent students is a must for justification of a DO degree. Social diversity has no place in preparing students for providing healthcare to the public.

Equity, inclusion, and belonging are much more difficult to accomplish and measure.
